Ocean View

I finally finished this mural on our deck. We traveled down to the Keys and I was inspired by all the murals. My inspiration was to give a dimensional illusion of the view. The ocean is actually in this direction about a block away, so it was fun. The roses are an added taste of reality. I love painting this large and have done murals before, but not for a while. Someday, I would love to have a real water view, but it would have to be facing west, where my heart is.

As I begin to immerse myself in my art heart's journey once again, I am hoping to share it with those who have an interest. Being in the Pacific Northwest is fertile ground for the next level of exploration.

For me, it is all about finding my way back to the limitless joy that art provides, as balance to the pain and darkness, on the other side. Painting is one part, but the sound of music, creative writing as expression, and performance art all embody who I really am.

I love to teach, using my skills in art therapy and I hope to be of service in some way, from this place in my heart, to my new community.
